The trap was sprung at 10:46, and in eight
minutes and forty-three seconds his heart
ceased to beat. His neck was broken.
Since Bellows was brought back to this
city yesterday morning he was constantly
watched in his cell by stalwart guards,
Early yesterday morning Rev. Father
Gum, Catholic priest, visited him and
tried to converse with him on the subject
of his future. He refused to listen to the
words OF the priest, aud finally Father
Gum left him. Bellows then turned to
his guards and with al oath declared that
he wanted nothing to do with ministers.
During the day he frequently burst forth
with fits OF profanity ana then
would give way TO tears. In the evening
a note bidding him goodbye Tss handed
him from one OF bis sisters, who lives
near this city. After bellows read this
he tore it and threw it on the floor. Later
at night one OF the guards called for a
bucket Of coal, an attendant brought il,
and. as he opened the cell coor, Bellows
n ade a rush for it, but was stopped By
the other guards. Bellows then seized a
chair and attacked the guard viciously, but
was soon overpowered. Daring the nigh.

weeping, until about 4 O'Clock, from which
time he dozed until clock this morning.
Half an hour later he ate hearty break

During the melee he bit one of the guards

At 1914 Bellows appeared at the scaffold
